Man is like a worm: He comes along, wiggles for a while, and fin- ally some chicken gets him. — The Calumet Herald, Hammond H. S. Happiness is like jam, because you can’t spread it without getting a little on you. — Bob Bums Special Molds For Special Occasions HENDERSON ICECREAM CO, Phone 93 Your Satisfaction Is Our Joy Joy Cleaners Members of the Junior High Math Club enjoyed a skating party j at the Atlaw Skating Rink in Ches- terton on Wednesday, October 15. Chaperoning the group were Miss Warner, Mr. Golden, Mr. Morland, and the club sponsor, Mr. Kasrner. Approximately one hundred mem- bers were in attendance. Different students use different methods of showing appreciation to their favorite teacher. It seems that some of the seventh grade girls find that bringing a shining red apple to Mr. Kurth has its effects. The expression which Mr. Kurth’s face registers when he is handed one of these crimson, vitamin- packed fruits is a surprising com- bination of amazement and amuse- ment, with just a tinge of pride. And why not? .... It’s not every teacher who has such accommoda- ting students. Earl Conlev, after much debate (with himself) has finally won the hand of fair Turner Twin, Joan. . . j And, speaking of twins,— Girls, have you seen those tall, blonde, handsome Swedish Shield twins? Mariellen Jolliff and Paul Welsh spell “Love in Bloom.” Jack Behrends isn’t doing so well this year with the girls. What’s wrong, Jack? Congratulations to the Junior High Math Club for having 130 members who have paid their dues. And speaking again of the Math Club, its members are going to be sorry indeed to lose Mr. Kastner as their sponsor. He has devoted a great deal of time and work to make the club’s functions bigger and better.

Boys and girls in the 8B Science class, who now hold forth daily in the Physics Room, are performing experiments on such problems as density of liquids and solids, grav- ity, water pressure, atmospheric pressure, suction, partial vacuums, air resistance, and centrifugal force. Each student in the class has per- formed at least one experiment so far. Plans are under way for a class trip to the Museum of Scien- ces and Industry in Chicago.

HO-HI LIFE Page Four GRIDIRON GANROLS The winning streak of the Ho-Hi gridders was brought to an abrupt stop Friday night, October 17, when the Brickies failed to overpower the Valpo Vikings on Boucher Field. The first touchdown of the game was scored as Hobart recovered a fumble on Valpo’s 30-yard line. Younce, Viking halfback, fumbled on the first play of the ball game. After two successive first downs, which put the ball on Valpo’s 1-yard line, Rose crashed over tackle for the opening score. Speed Taylor plunged over for the extra point, and the quarter ended at Hobart 7, Valparaiso 0. Midway in the second quarter Valparaiso put on a drive which took the ball to the Brickie 30-yard line, from where Walter Woycik raced 30 yards around right end to score. A place kick for the extra point was missed, and the half end- ed with Hobart still in front, 7-6. In the third period a fumble on the 30-yard line by halfback Louie Rose as he attempted to return a Valpo kick set up the second score for Valpo. Several first downs put the ball on the Hobart 1-yard line, from where Ralph Doeling took it over on a plunge for a score. He drop-kicked to add another point, bringing the score to 13-7, Valpo. Late in the last quarter a Brickie touchdown drive which took the ball to the Valpo 12-yard line was snuffed out by a 15-yard penalty, and the loss could not be made up in the time required before the game ended. Brickies were still in possession of the ball when the final gun went off. Backed by one of the largest crowds which has followed the Brickies out of town this year, the playing of the locals failed to match the stirring play which the Brickies exhibited in winning from Griffith and Crown Point. The only conso- lation that is afforded the players and home crowd is that the Brickies will have an opportunity for re- venge on the local gridiron when the two teams will be rematched on Friday night, November 7. “I am highly disappointed with the showing of our team In the Valpo game,” said Coach Tommy Moore. ‘“It was a case of being out- fought by a team that was not sup- erior. I am confident that the next game will show improvement.” Art Theater Tues. Wed. Joan Bennet Walter Pidgeon in Nan Hunt Thur. Fri.

HO-HI LIFE Page Five MAY WE PRESENT RITA HUGHES The fact that Rita Hughes is the first girl-president the Hobart High School Concert Band has had is important enough to merit a little personal information about this young senior. While in the fifth grade at Mun- dell School, where she began her schooling, Rita began her course in clarinet playing. In 1935 she occupied the second chair in the Junior Band and held the office of secretary-treasurer of that band. This was the year the Junior Band played in the contests in Crawfords- ville and LaPorte. In 1938 and 1939 the young lady occupied the president’s chair in the Latin Class. Rita won Divis- ion 1 in the State Contest with her clarinet solo while in the eighth grade. Last year she was made presi- dent of the Junior Class, and this fall she was elected president of the band, to hold this office for the school year of 1941 and 1942. As a student, Rita holds top honors in her studies. As a person, she is one of the most popular and best liked girls in the school. The band is proud to have her as its president, and band members are only too willing to cooperate with her in every way to make this year a pleasant and outstanding one for her to remember after she has been graduated next spring.
